Description
Led Zeppelin IV Red Plum PG credit A3 B3 “pecko duck" 1971 first UK press VGC+.
This is the true first press of this album and is the second variant, the first had the feather inverted and was quickly replaced and is worth a fortune. I have graded this as VG/VG as there are some hairlines but none that affect the play. There is the odd crackle in places but it doesn’t affect the enjoyment of the play. This is 50 years old and is priced based on the condition.
The inner sleeve does have some discreet tape repairs as is usual with this LP as the sleeve was made with weak paper, not visible from the outside.
It is a rare first pressing label!
Below are the notes from Discogs:
Plum' Atlantic pressing on red/white/plum label.
This is the 2nd (of 8) verified and known 'plum' label variants. Specific to this label variant are:
Variation label of the 1st pressing - Feather symbol on Side 2 has been corrected and is the right way up.
Catalogue number at 3 o'clock above circular Atlantic logo reads 'deluxe 2401012'
'Marketed by Polydor Records Limited' at 6 o'clock on labels.
The 'Under licence from Atlantic Recording Corpn., U.S.A.' text is printed above the white centre strip,
and omitting the music publisher, "Superhype Music Inc", credit.
also it has the distinctive 'Peter Grant' credit at the bottom label.
The music credits on this label variation state only "Kinney Music Ltd,"
"Led Zeppelin" printed in the plum area on bottom label just under the track titles in smaller lettering.
"Kinney Music Ltd."
"LED ZEPPELIN"
"Produced By Jimmy Page."
"Executive Producer Peter Grant."
"Porky" and "Pecko Duck" hand etched into Run-Out Groove.
Inner sleeve has lyrics to 'Stairway to Heaven' on one side and track titles and credits on the other. The first inner sleeves are dark gray with two foldback edges to the side.
Some copies have the inner with four credits lines, while some copies have the inner with five credits lines (see pics).
This release was commonly referred to as 'Led Zeppelin IV', to follow in sequence with their previous three releases, but no actual title appears on the release.
